			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just looked at a few sites providing space related images for download. All images &#8211; except the logo&#8217;s from these three sites are freely useable for non-commercial purposes, including personal web sites &#8211; of course with a clear attribution of the source.</p>
<p>The three sites I looked up here are</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/index.html">NASA</a> (of course)for general space travel and some astronomical images.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/Media/mediaimages/index.shtml">The Spitzer Space Telescope</a> for images taken in infrared</p>
<p>and of course <a href="http://hubblesite.org/gallery/">The Hubble Space Telescope</a> with some of the most stunning astronomical images made</p>
<p>If you like images, maybe using them part of your web pages these are three very good sources.</p>
<p>Do not forget that many observatories and universities have images available. These include very old images from the classical telescopes in the world. I believe there is a project to scan all those ancient images before they are lost forever due to the deterioration pf the photographic material.</p>
<p>The old images *could* become important  for detecting transient events or variable phenomena, like recurring nova outbursts, so we can not afford to lose these images.</p>
